I'm looking for suggestions on ss brake lines. What brand, where to buy, misc. feedback.
Thanks!

 

Several stores have DOT SS brake lines:

rx7store.net
rx7.com
mazdatrix.com

 

rx7.com

Installed in less than an hour, no problems with fitment at all. Everything lined up perfectly, no filing or fitment work required.

They look good, and make an already stiff pedal even stiffer.


I recommend them.

MazdaComp has the DOT for $60. It seems really cheap so it might only be a pair but it is a competition part so anyone can buy it.

There are two listings for ss brake lines on their site. One is a new product and is DOT approved. The other mentions it has reusable fittings. Do most of the ss brake lines have reusuable fittings or no? Could that be why they are so cheap?

 

These made a HUGE difference in pedal feel for me. I had all of my brake lines done, plus I replaced my pads at the same time (and had the rotors turned), and afterward my pedal was rock hard. I'm really glad I did it as it really added a lot of confidence to the car. I took it to the track afterward and drove like a maniac for several hours and toward the end I started noticing a little sponginess, but nothing to worry about (btw, use MOTUL 600 fluid when you replace your fluid).

Heath, I don't know. We would just have to call and find out.

I don't see how a brake line couldn't be reusable, they all screw on the same. Maybe they don't come with fitting at all and its just the hose and you have to mate it to the stock fitting, that would be stupid.

 

Lol, yep that would be pretty stupid. I'll give them a call and see what the deal is.

 

Mazda Comp...$60 for the fr/rr set...DOT approved with plastic sheath over the steel braids...very high quality product...and a no-brainer purchase!!

 

where can i buy the mazda comp brake lines? seems like i have to be a "racer" to buy anything from them.

 

You must be a registered competitor with Mazda Motorsports in order to purchase ANY parts. This policy changed recently. If you are not a member, you can't get parts. The car must be raced twice a year and results provided in order to qualify.

I am using the $60 lines from them and you do get all four They fit well and I had no issues installing them.

 

thanks. yea i tried registering today saying i am preparing my "race" car. hopefully my NASA membership will be good enough for them.

 

Anyone happen to have a part number for these?

Thanks!

 

I put in Goodridge SS lines at the same time as Brembo cross drilled rotors and Hawk HP+ pads. Incredible difference in how the brakes feel. Well worth the money, and I have had no problems with the SS lines 2 years later.

DOT legal!




Price has gone up! $85.40 now.

 

I also have the Goodrige SS lines. Excellent fit and quality.

 

"Reusable fittings" means that the fittings are not crimped on the lines, but rather that you could remove them and reuse them.

I think you have to use crimped fittings to meet DOT specs.

I just tryed my dealer, they said you must be a racer to order them too.

But I am, But I'm Speed Racers older brothether that
ran away because I smashed up Pop's race car .yada yada yada !

 

^ RacerX you can get MazdaComp parts from Mazdaformance. If for some reason they can't get it then Trixie said to call Spridle at rotorsportsracing and buy the Goodrich set from them.

 

You can also get a set (non DOT) from K2RD or strait from Racing Beat. but try www.mazdaformance.com first.

 

FYI to all, MazdaComp brake lines are no longer covered with a plastic sheath, they are now using the Goodridge uncovered lines. (Which I guess I should have figured with the picture posted by DamonB...)

 

go here... I just posted this a week or two ago .

Too late for me. Besides, I'd rather save the $40 difference and coat them myself.
